Providing useful, up-to-date information by recognized authorities Microbial Foodborne Diseases focuses on the molecular and cellular processes that govern pathogenicity and toxin production in foodborne pathogens - viral, bacterial, fungal, and protozoan. It includes current information related to the association of the pathogen with particular foods (and water), epidemiology, methods of early detection, toxicology, and economic impact of the pathogen. The book discusses important new areas of research, with implications toward the development of strategies for the control of the disease process. > Through the use of molecular and cellular biological techniques, numerous advances have been made in understanding the molecular basis of virulence mechanisms and toxin biosynthesis in organisms that contaminate food and feed. Microbial Foodborne Diseases: Mechanisms of Pathogenesis and Toxin Synthesis serves as an advanced text on these techniques, providing useful, up-to-date informar
